The minister of agriculture said, about corn yield, that in 2021 the totl corn yield will reach 13.87 million tons, while last year 10.15 million tons were obtained. The average at national level is 5,393 g/ha. “In 2019 we reported a yield of 17 million tins, in 2018 it was 18.66 million tons of corn, but we know that there was also a European Commission reaction about those figures for having changed all estimates,” Oros said.
